I always like to have a little something for my guests to take home. Auberne' and I cut out these crosses from pretty card stock. Glued small acorns in the center (thank you, who sent me these, you know who you are. You are the sweetest xoxoxo) Also small pine-cones, leaves, corn kernels would work. I will have pens on-hand and let each person write what they are thankful for on their cross. I plan after dinner, to punch a hole in the top and add a ribbon, so they can hang them on their Christmas tree.

Clarice,

Your menu sounds delicious, but what else could it be coming out of your charming kitchen. We had very few acorns this year...perhaps this means a mild winter?? It has been 20 degrees colder than normal for the last couple of weeks though so I am not hopeful. Maybe better acorns for picking next year.

I think that's a wonderful idea Clarice. Today many people spend so much time moaning they haven't time to think about being thankful. I like this quotation, I expect you've heard it. 'Joy comes NOT from getting what you want, but wanting what you've got.' Very True!

These are so sweet! You are so creative and thoughtful! You and Auberne` did a wonderful job! I love the photo, so pretty and the tablecloth is gorgeous! The acorns look sweet on the pretty cross. I love your idea of writing what you are thankful for and using them as Christmas ornaments! You are making beautiful memories for your dear ones!
Love, Paula
